There is one disadvantage to this forum compared to the old one, and that is we lost our slideshow at the top of the forum. To compensate for that I have created this thread and pinned it to the top of the forum so we can all share some pix of our projects. I don't care if its unrestored, a pile of parts, fully restored or in some other configuration, lets see it. In fact of you have some other make or model...say a Chevy truck for instance, lets see that too.
This is my 62 Galaxie 4-door:
high performance 302
5-speed manual transmission
4-wheel disc brakes with hydroboost power booster
Non OEM bucket seats
This is what it looked like when I bought it
One that died so that mine might live
Fox body engine mounts allowed me to drop the 302 right in
Hydroboost unit
Rear disc brakes

I've been a member of this forum since I bought my 1966 Galaxie 500 in 2008. I'll always be a novice but I'm learning more all the time.
September 2008 I started with this
and another 1966 parts car.
Today
My 2 favorite photos.
I'm also in the early stages of a frame off resto of a 1965 Chevy C10 short bed stepside. I document my progress on my website. Please visit at www.Lugnutz65Chevystepside.weebly .com

Here is my main project. It is a 62 Galaxie 500 XL that my grandfather bought brand new. I did a mini restoration on it when I first got it over 25 years ago, and then about 9 years ago I started a frame off restoration and am still working on it.

About a year ago I bought this wagon and have done a ton of work on it in the last year which means nothing got done on my main project, the XL.
I also have this 63 Galaxie 500 XL 4 door hardtop that I have done a bunch of work on this past year also.
Here is an engine pic of the 63.
